  • Honestly its SUCH a shame that you don't have a GDD because the use of shadows in this game is GREAT! I love the way the game handles and the use of the little light balls to see where shadow is, along to lighting the torches. its fantastic, the only notes I would have would be the lack of alchemy. Seriously dude, if you implemented the alchemy and had a GDD you could honestly be a contender for victory

Did you include your Game Design Document as a Google Drive link?
No, the project was very short so I only have notes on my physical notebook which I don't feel comfortable publishing.

Seriously... did you include your Game Design Document?
No.

Is your game set to Public so we can see it?
Yes

Tell us about your game!
The game is a very simple platformer about exploring a dark underworld, where your only ability is to cast fireballs that can light lamps or momentarily cast some light on your surroundings.

Neat little game.  Love the aesthetic.

I liked the graphics and the mood a lot!

The fireball freaks out if you change direction while shooing, and the platforming can feel a bit stiff. Other than that, it's pretty fun!
